Death of Horace Shaw

By Uriah Smith

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., May 11, 1876, of paralysis induced by epilepsy, Bro. Horace Shaw, aged 39 years. Formerly a Universalist, he became interested in the doctrines taught by S. D. Adventists, three years ago the coming August, in Colorado. Two years ago last January, he commenced the observance of the Sabbath, and fully received the truths of the third message, from which time to his last sickness it was his greatest pleasure to try to give his influence in every possible way to the advancement of this cause. A man exceptionally pleasant and kind in his family, he will be sadly missed by his companion and three children whom he leaves. But while they grieve that he is taken from them in the prime of life, they have the consolation of thinking that he lived long enough to see, receive, and rejoice in, the present truth, and die in the full assurance of the blessed hope, which it bestows.
